GENERAL NEWS.
The President PetitiOned
from ''NO Mans Land"
ANEW JERSEY TOWN ON FIRE.
Government Aid Requested by
Those Anxious for Pacific
Submarine Cable.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. !
WASHINGTON, July ia petition,
signed by the residents of Mineral
City, which is in the neutral strip
known as "No Mans Land,' lying
south Of Kansas, has been received by
the President, depreciatory of his fail
ure to sign the bill passed by both
houses of Congress at the last session,
annexing "No Mans Land" to the
State of Kansas. The petitioners rep
resent that during the four years past
the country has been monopolized by
large and influential cattle companies,
many of them foreign corporations,
who have fenced off for their own pur-
pose thousands of acres of valuable
land and whose aim is to keep out
honest and hard working farmers.
Twenty to thirty farmers are daily en-
tering the strip and locating, building
homes and breaking ground for crops,
and railroads are making surveys and
some are about commencing to grade.
Towns are springing up, the people
are spending their money in building
and if they cannot get a title to the
ground they are building upon, busi-
ness will be impeded, because trade is
unprotected. The petitioners beg that
their statements be investigated, and
such action taken as will best protect
them in their rights.
e.. THE CArTLEMEN's APPEAL.
In reply to q letter fromcattle owners
onthe tract known as "No Mans Land
asking whether portion of the herd
ers occupying that land can form an
organization and adopt a law to govern
free range men, Land Commissioner
Sparks states that no person, organiza-
ton or association has any right or
color of authority to make herd regu-
lations or any other regulations in re-
spect to the occupation of lands in q
public land strip. "These are public
lands Of the United States" continued
the Commissioner, "and have never
been made subject to lawful occupa-
ton or entry under any Of the public
land laws. Military forces will re-
move occupants therefrom who are
not actual settlers or who are using or
controlling more than 100 acres.

THE GRUHBLER

The following is from the Maine
Farmer, and contains such large chunks
of common sense that we copy it for
the benefit of our readers
The man who has faith in his town,
who believes that it has something
good before it, will not stand on the
corner of its streets and denounce its
institutions, lament the dull times, be-
little its enterprises, decry some of its
leading citizens and find fault gener-
ally with what is going on. He will
not discourage the young man who is
DESTROYS of planting a home, or estab-
fishing himself in business. He won't
look at the future of his town through
the jaundiced eye of a chronic loafer
and grumbie, or judge by the standard
of disappointed ambition. When
a man denOunceS his town and
week if he can sell the little real es-
tate he has in it," the sooner that
man leaves the better for the town.
The man who has faith in his town,
makes it the subject OF cheerful con-
versation, writes of it with iwordss of
hope and confidence and attractiVely
sets forth its advantages, sells all he
can at home and buys all he can at
home, trys to invite people from other
places, instead of sending the people
of his own town to other places to trade.

is no town on the continent like it.
He will see in public movements some
thing desirable though it may add a
few cents to his taxes. Such man as

his opinion that the layout is good

that the other republicans can't stand
it any longer. The prohibitionists, he
says, will strive to have "A prohibition

that, failing rs it will, the straight re-

that IS an inspiration and blessing to
